Beat Drop: Pimp C

Bun B on “Ridin Dirty”

It was a Wes Montgomery sample and it was one that he had been wanting to interpolate for years, but he wasn’t really sure if people were gonna understand him fucking with Wes Montgomery. Pimp C was a real big fan of Wes Montgomery and Coltrane and Miles Davis and different people like that and always wanted to incorporate those different elements into a lot of our music, and that was one of the ones where he was able to fully insert something and present it the way he wanted to present it and interpolate it exactly the way he wanted to interpolate it. At that point, he had the keyboards, he had the guitars, he had the bassist and he was able to recreate the music and flip it and produce it the way he wanted to, and I was really proud of him for that, because I knew that that was something that was real close to him.
